IP-COM Automatic Call Distributor (ACD)

Transcription

1 IP-COM Automatic Call Distributor (ACD) The ACD (Automatic Call Distributor) provides the queuing and routing mechanism, receiving and processing requests from incoming calls. Calls are routed to agents based on the defined rules including queues and skills routing with skill weighting. In addition to queuing and routing, the ACD is also responsible for logging, statistics, configuration, and CTI functions. The logging function consolidates events from all of the other subsystems and writes them to the logging database, which in turn is used by the historical reports function to serve up reports as necessary. The statistics process maintains constant communication with all subsystems, especially the agent interaction subsystem, to keep track in real time of the status of all system components, agents, calls, and messages. This process is used by a number of other system processes, but especially by the real time reports process, which provides the most up-to-the-minute agent and system information to supervisors and administrators. The configuration services process keeps track of system and agent configuration data, and is used by a number of other system processes, but especially by the administrator interaction subsystem. The ACD distributes incoming calls in the order of arrival to the first available agent. The system answers each call immediately and, if necessary, holds it in a queue until it can be directed to the next available call center agent. Balancing the workload among agents ensures that each caller receives prompt and professional service. IP-COM ACD supports multiple call queues. The ACD support the following type of call distribution: ringall: ring all available channels until one answers (default) roundrobin: take turns ringing each available interface leastrecent: ring interface which was least recently called by this queue fewestcalls: ring the one with fewest completed calls from this queue random: ring random interface rrmemory: round robin with memory, remember where we left off last ring pass

2 Reports (METRICS) Metrics is a versatile call center monitoring system dedicated to call centres based on the IP-COM architecture. Metrics lets allow to: Run reports on call center activity, divided by queue and filtered by agent and time period that show what happened (e.g. taken calls, lost calls, agents logging on and off ) during the specified period. Such reports can be run while ACD is running, so that you have no delay in seeing what s going on. See the details of call center activity, like each single call that was handled or lost, and listen to it through your web browser. Have a single real-time panel showing call center activity; you ll see calls being processed by queues and agent activity in the very moment it s happening. Give your agents a web-based interface panel that lets them see their own calls while they re being handled and optionally launch an external web-app (like a third party CRM module). Allows tracking of call completion statuses and pause codes, so you can run statistics on the result of your CC activity and on the time used by your agents, keeping track of their ACD and non-acd time. REPORTS Quick activity reports The quickest way to obtain an analysis is by selecting the queue you want to analyze and then click on the appropriate time frame below the Quick activity reports title on the home page. The defined time frames are the following: Today, Yesterday, or any defined date starting from midnight to midnight Last day, Last 7 days, Last 30 days, Last 90 days The system will then show the Answered calls page, like here below.

3 Agent report If the user has the appropriate grants, s/he can restrict the analysis to a single agent. This way one can see exactly what one agent did. To use this feature, select the agent you want to filter by and click on the desired time period in the Agent report section of the Home Page. Custom reports Custom reports are available by clicking on Run custom report from the Home Page. A new menu will appear, asking for custom report parameters:

4 The meaning is as follows: Queue is the queue or composite queue you want to analyze; Agent is an agent to be used as filter, or - as no filter; Location is a location to be used as a filter, or - for none; Start and end date let you select the period you want to analyze, with five-minute resolution; File is the queue_log file you want to analyze. Time zone offset is to be set if the ACD server that created the queue_log file was in a different time

5 Join multi-stint calls lets you join together the pieces of the same call if it has been processed by more than oine ACD. By clicking on the Run custom report button, you can run the analysis, which output is the same as the Quick activity report The following are certain reports that are available based upon the parameters defined:
